The House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-In the morn
ing hour the house proceeded to the consid-
Grafton of the joint resolution authorizing
an investigation of the books, accounts and
methods of the Pacific railroads which have
received aid from the United States. Moth
ing was done. Mr.. Norwood. of Georgia,
| rose to question of privilege in regard TO
publication in to-day'S New York World,
in which the name of It. NJ. Norwood ap-
pears i'll connection with the accounts of
the Central Pacific railroad. Last night he
had been waited upon by a representative
of that paper, who asked him whether he
had ever represented a claim against the
Central Pacific railway company or the
Union Pacific railroad company-he had
forgotten which. He had replied in the
negative, and his statement had been pub
llshed. Nothing had been said in regard
to the Southern Pacific railroad
company. He presumed he was
the Norwood mentioned in the account. In
1S7S-a year after his senatorial term had
eXplred-he had been engaged by the South
ern Pacific railroad as counsel in a contest
between that company and the Texas Pa
cific company. which ended two years SUBJ
seQuently. His services had been rendered
publicly, and the items mentioned in the
World he presumed to be the fees that we've
paid from time to time upon his regular sal
airy. This was his connection with the case.
How these items appeared in the account of
the Central Pacific company with the
United States lie aid not know. He never
had in any shape any connection with the
Central Pacific or Union Pacific company

EDUCAT.ONIN THE ARMY.
Some Novel Views Oh the subject
EXnreSSed by Gen. FIVE.

Expressed by Gen. Frye.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Gen. James B. Frye,
of the regular army, expressed his views
freely this afternoon before the military
service institute on Governors Island. The
subject for discussion was compulsory educa-
ton in the United States army. The views
expressed in his paper caused Il sensation
among the large number of prom ncnt people
who attended, and also provoked much crit-
cism. He criticized the public school system,
and said it could hardly be claimed tn t the
selection of men as law max, r. proved the
system had done anything to improve voters
or to purify the franchise. TweediSm, which
amazed people twenty years ago, has grown
with the public schools. Tho schools are
maintained at an enormous cost to prevent
corruption. The speaker characterized
public schools as species OF compulsory
charity. He asked, Can the defects CT the
system be remedied or should it be
abUlished?" Then the speaker argued
against the introduction of compui-
sorry education in the army. He held
that general education was not a function OF
the governments "An enterprises belonging
to the individual must fail when assumed by
the state. The conclusion is inevitable. the
system should be abolished" He said that
the fundamental error seemed to be in sup
posing that education, in this city at least, is
Il matter of instruction. 1t belongs TO the
individual not to the government architects
or engineers Gen. Frye went on to say that
before man could be admitted to the mill
tarv service as an officer, he must be exam
ined in the elementary branches TO prove
that he is capable of special service. He
drew a comparison between the voluntary
service of this country and the forced service
OF European countries, and argued that 1t
would be better to force men VINO mad the
rudimentS of education into the army than TO
accept the enlistment of ignoramuses too
dense to learn. and compel them to study the
elementary parts of education. He advo-
Gated higher pay to private soldiers to secure
u better class of men.

bility that the Empress Eugene has tele-
graphed 10 the Due De Monchy to make
SJrict inquiries, What gives weight to it is
the fact that no money is demanded or APP
parently desired, ana the effort is continu-
Gus to hide the child. The mother is a
school mistress in Australia. Her docu-
ments are in the care of Mr.. Reynolds, all
English solicitor here, and consist of two
letters and two kilograms, the former I'M
mistakably in the princes handwriting,
but they refer only to trifling questions and
appointments. The child, which was at
Bercy. is, or was, few days ago. at the
chateau of Marquis D'OyIey-the Chateau
De Sans Souclde BelIevue-where there is
reason to believe important interviews are
going to take place. The boy is said to be
the image of his reputed sire, and there are
sundry strong influences in shadow behind
him. The story gets a good deal OF
credence.

eight rounds were fought, occupying one,
hour and ffty-two minutes. The fight was
only finished by Gilmore falling senseless in
the ring under the sledge-hammer blows
of McAuliffe. There was considerable
heavy fighting up to the sixth round, Nc
Auliffe evidently coming out the better
man. From the sixth to the tWenty-tifth
round the fortunes of the men varied and
McAuliffe's confidence was visibly in
creased. In the twenty-ffth round Mo
Auliffe started in to do Gilmore up, but the
latter, whose face was puffed up like a foot
ball, fought with desperation and success
fully withstood the savage assaults of mis-
antagonist. McAulitfe got little the best
of the twenty sixth round, but Gilmore was
game, and although almost ''done upo
stood up for the twenty-seventh round. i'm
which McAuliffe had his own way, pounding
his adversary without mercy. In the
twenty-eighth round Gilmore was very
groggy and McAuliffe pitched into him,
stalking him at least ten heavy blows In the
face Gilmore fell, staggering to the floor
exhausted and could not respond to the
call for time" McAuliffe claimed the
fight and it was awarded to him. Gilmore
struggled to his feet and wanted to keep up
the fighting, but was not allowed to con-
tinue by his hacker. He was most fear
fully punished, and after the fight was put
to bed with physicians in attendance on
him.
